After making a cameo in a star-studded monologue with host Jack Black, the 50-year-old Detroit rocker took the stage to deliver two recently released, electrifying tracks: “Derecho Demonico” and “God and the Broken Ribs.”

Later in the show, he returned wearing a jacket emblazoned with the NASA logo – presumably for the recently launched, Moon-bound Artemis II mission – to deliver the wild “God and Broken Ribs”.
